Claimed

Althea leaned her back against the wall, as she stared at the tree, she felt sullocated by all this talk about how she should let go of what happened and he would do better, he would fix everything, he would use his lifetime to seek her forgiveness and how he great the future was with the three of them together.

Althea listened to what he said, but at the same time, she didn’t listen to him, because everything was the same. All of the things that he promised her was the same.

He didn’t add anything new and she was tired and only wanted him to stop talking because she didn’t see why she had to let it go when she was the one, who was hurt.

“Are you done?” Althea asked after Killian stopped with his preach.

Hearing the question, Killian knew that she was still not willing to give their relationship a chance. He knew that he should be more patient with her, but he couldn’t help it, as he realized that king was still in her mind.

“Do you think he will be here to get you?” Killian asked. “If he really wanted you and truly wanted you back, he should be here by now. He is the king, the news about you missing must have reached his ears long ago, but why he is not here?”

Althea tried to compose herself when she heard the question, she knew that Killian only tried to egg her and she didn’t want. to fall into such nasty trick.

However, that was the question that kept her mind awake at night. Why Alex was not here? Why he didn’t come? Althea bit her tongue and remained calm.

“If he really wanted you, he must have marked you. You have been together for long, having a ceremony and all, but why he has not marked you?” Killian tried to make her see the fact of the situation. “He wanted to take precaution, just in case thing went out of hand, which it already happened, be could bail out on you.”

Althea waited for a little bit more before she looked at him dead in the eyes. “Are you done?”

They held each other gaze for a while. Althea could see the desperation and remorse in Killian’s eyes, but she didn’t need that. She didn’t need his remorse and regret, she didn’t need him.

“Even if I am not with Alex, I will not be with you, just because you are the father of Jasmine, doesn’t make you the man that I wanted.” Althea felt the satisfaction when she saw the shocking look in Killian’s eyes.

It must be hard on him to hear this when all the women used to fall on his knees, he could get whoever woman that he wanted in this pack only by a single word, but he was loyal to Willow then, and now, he wanted to be loyal to Althea?

What Killian had was an obsession.

“I don’t want you, Kilian. After what you have done, you told me to forgive and forget? Why should I? I was the one, who had to suffer in your hand, you don’t have any right to tell me what to do with my feeling” Althea narrowed her eyes, she leaned over, so Killian could hear the venom in her voice. “You know what? Standing here with you alone and staring into your eyes already disgusted me so much. I still remember every detail of cruel thing that you have done to me, you will never be able to repay that even if you used your own life.”

Killian’s jaw clenched, he balled his fists and his breathing ragged, he looked at Althea with a mixed of emotions, but sadness was the one emotion that was very palpable in his eyes.

“I don’t want you, Killian. I don’t want your sorry life. I couldn’t even stand you, do you think I can play family with you?” Althea scowled, as if the thought of that alone made her wanted to throw up. “Even if I am not with Alex, a monster has better chance than you. You are worse than any monster, Killian

Killian’s gaze hardened on her, as he watched the meek woman that he used to play in his palm had insulted him in any possible.

Willow had never done anything like this to him, but even when he was so much in love with Willow at that time, he wouldn’t let such comment slide.

However, he couldn’t even bring himself to get angry with Althea for all the comment imagine to yell at her or force himself to her again.

He felt… tired.

He only wanted a family and he wanted this one to work out.

“If there is nothing else you wanted to say, I will take my leave. Even if she couldn’t be with Alex and return to the mainland, she wouldn’t with with Killian either.

“In the future, could you see yourself forgave me? Not a year, ten years or even twenty years, can you see yourself forgave

me?”

Althea gave some thought about it. “No.” The answer was final. She knew that she wouldn’t forgive him. Called her vindictive, but he brought this upon himself and by him kidnapping her to make her stay in the pack, only added more to bad memories about him.

Althea wouldn’t be able to forgive him in this lifetime.

And suddenly, Killian did something that Althea didn’t think he was capable of doing. He was kneeling in front of her. His lowered his head and looked at Althea with determination.

“What should do now, Althea?” Killian asked, his voice was pitiful and he sounded like he was going to cry, which made Althea startled. “I will throw everything for you, including my dignity. Just give he said

me one more chance, that’s all I ask of you,”
